Abstract

This article utilizes a court-resolved 1870s conflict between two clergymen, Edward Cridge and George Hills, to present a model for conflict analysis that is relevant for the preparation and professional development of school leaders. The five elements of the model include: a defining reality, reinforcing events, critical incident, response patterns, and outputs and outcomes. The incident is used with guiding questions to demonstrate the use of case study technique for learning purposes. The case is presented as an example of "woodenheadedness" in interpersonal relations and of "folly" in governance policy in terms used by Barbara Tuchman (1984).
